TO { FRIEND,

If you wish to be happy lift tie
burden from the heart Of your weary
and heavily laden friend. Remove
the thornS of discomfort from the
rough pathway that his bleeding feet
are pressing. Crush oat OF your
heart the fires Of worldly lust and
thoughts of selfish aim. Be not stiff,
stern, cold and repulsive to your
friend. Do not Try to make a dis
play of your wisdom by diminishing
that Of your friend. For by such
acts you only gather thOrns and
thislles on which to rest in declining
life wien life's burdens are heaviest.
When your lips are dryest you will
receive salty water 20 allay your
thirst. You have by your selfish
acts crushed the spirit and friendly
band, that woull wet your parch-
ed lips with drops of refreshing
water. You on!y cultivate rank and
bitter weeds CT malice in your hear t.
No flower of peace can ever bloom
or leave its fragrance there to make
rOur life lovahie and make Your
death lanentcd. You must sink in
to oblivion, unloyet, unhonored and
IN uag. GENo
